Corrected entry: If cutters aren't allowed to have implants, why did EYE-tech hire Alan Hakman in the first place? They could have easily checked their computer to see that he had one put in at birth.

Correction: Cutters are not employed by EYE-Tech. They are independent contractors hired by the families. That is why the one cutter's cousin was worried about losing his job if they found a cutter in the EYE-Tech building.

Corrected entry: After Alan Hackman finishes talking to Isabel, they show the Zoe Implant's time as "8 hours" from Isabel's point of view but right after when Alan is being chased by Fletcher, Alan's Zoe Implant's time comes up: 7 hours.

Correction: The time on the ZOE Implants is not the time of day, but rather the time of her life. It was the 8th hour of her 'X' day on her 'Y' Year, where it was Alan's 7th hour of his 'X' day on his 'Y' year.

Mistakes

Revealing mistake: Robin Williams is working on Bannister's rememory, scanning newspaper articles. Under the first headline, "Bannister Eyes Future," the copy reads, "Whoever wrote these headlines had as much fun as I did setting them in type and formatting them into newspaper articles. But then, this sort of headline appears in the paper regularly, so maybe we all just want to have fun. Fun: such a precious commodity these days."

Questions

Question: Why are the implants called ZOE? Does it stand for something?

Answer: The movie provides no answer as to why the device was named "ZOE." However, one should note the word "Zoe" is actually a greek word for "life." Since the ZOE implant records someone's life, this sounds like the most logical answer to why it was named ZOE. On a side note: The first device to display moving images was called the "Zoetrope", the similar name could have had further influence as to why this implant was named ZOE.
